Fibroids and ovarian cysts are both common conditions for women, however they differ greatly in composition and location. Fibroids are solid, non-cancerous muscle growths that develop in the uterus and can lead to heavy periods and pelvic pressure. Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that usually form in the ovaries, sometimes causing pain or discomfort. Fibroids are made of tissue, while cysts are filled with liquid.

Fluoroscopy is a powerful imaging technique that provides real-time, dynamic X-ray images, allowing doctors to observe the movement and function of your internal organs, vessels, and tissues as they work. By using contrast agents, it enhances the visibility of specific areas, helping to diagnose issues like blockages or abnormal motility with greater accuracy. Additionally, fluoroscopy often enables less invasive procedures, reducing discomfort and recovery time while ensuring precise and safe treatment.

A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is a helpful X-ray procedure used in fertility diagnosis to assess the health of your uterus and fallopian tubes. By introducing a contrast dye, the HSG provides detailed images that can reveal blockages in the fallopian tubes and identify abnormalities like fibroids or an irregularly shaped uterus. This test is essential for understanding your reproductive anatomy and guiding further fertility treatments. Whether you’re evaluating tubal obstructions, confirming the success of a tubal surgery, or planning additional imaging, an HSG offers vital insights that can help pave the way to parenthood. If you would like to learn more about HSG, please send us a message online or visit our website. 

A nephrostomy is a procedure where a fine tube is inserted through a small incision in the back, and guided into the kidney to drain urine. This procedure is often used when the ureter – which normally carries urine to the bladder – is blocked. A ureter blockage can place kidney health at great risk, especially if there’s an infection.

Fallopian Tube Recanalisation (FTR) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to enhance fertility by addressing blockages in the fallopian tubes. These blockages can result from various factors such as 👇🏾

☑️Scarring from previous abdominal surgery

☑️Certain sexually transmitted infections

☑️Previous ectopic pregnancy

☑️Endometriosis

☑️Hydrosalpinx

For blockages caused by debris, FTR demonstrates a success rate of 90%, making it a highly effective option for many women wishing to conceive. If you have been diagnosed and are wanting to learn more about FTR, please send us a message online or visit our website for more
